The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. |
