The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into distant history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are now in private collections. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
