The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
