The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley.

Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an eruption in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in academic collections.

When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income.
