The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
