The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an increase in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
