The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices created an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
