The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs prompted an increase in publications on food, some of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
