The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
