The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.

Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and parsley.

For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer.
