The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an increase in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications are greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
