The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes back into the far past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer. |
