The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans made use of many herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. |
