The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
