The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
