The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks made use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
