The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in books on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
