The History of Recipes

We can follow the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and dill.

Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private cookery archives.

By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money.
