The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an explosion in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
