The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab countries, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an increase in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
