The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Romans used many spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, mint and dill. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
