The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an increase in books on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
