The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, these, ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices created a surge in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
