The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
