The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in cookery books, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
