The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans used many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
