The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into distant history, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs created an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
