The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
