The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the early Romans used many different herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
