The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a torrent in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private libraries. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
