The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into ancient history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a surge in publications on food, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
