The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
