The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an eruption in recipe publications, some of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
