The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used many spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. |
