The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times used many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
