The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in books on cookery, most of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
