The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
