The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
