The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs prompted an eruption in publications on food, most of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
