The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
