The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
