The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an eruption in books on cookery, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
