The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient chefs used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an increase in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money. |
