The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into the distant past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks used many herbs and spices, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused a surge in publications on food, the majority of which are now in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
