The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs prompted an explosion in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
