The History of Recipes

We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, rue and dill.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in recipe publications, some of which are now in private collections.

By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income.
