The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
