The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an explosion in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, more free time and being a little richer. |
