The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer. |
