The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
