The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes back into history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in books on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
