The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
