The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. |
