The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
