The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs used many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
