The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
