The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the distant past, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and dill. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
