The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in cookery books, many of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books were greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
