The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
