The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an increase in cookery books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
