The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
