The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, more spare time and being a little richer. |
