The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and dill.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend.
