The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into antiquity, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in publications on food, most of which still exist in private collections. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
