The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in books on cooking, most of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
