The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
