The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books were in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
