The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an outbreak in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
