The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. |
