The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, due to increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. |
