The History of Recipes

We can track the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and asafoetida.

Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a surge in recipe publications, many of which are now in private cookery archives.

By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth.
