The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
