The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
