The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like basil, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. |
