The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer. |
