The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes created an increase in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
