The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in recipe books, some of which still exist in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
