The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
