The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
