The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created an outbreak in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
