The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a surge in books on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
