The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
During the time of the Romans a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
