The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans used many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
