The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the early Romans made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and dill.

Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money to spend.
