The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created an outbreak in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. |
