The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans used many herbs, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices led to an explosion in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. |
