The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
