The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and dill. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
