The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like bay, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in cookery books, some of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books are highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
