The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into the distant past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an eruption in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, more spare time and disposable income. |
