The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the early Romans used many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
