The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices created an increase in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
