The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and dill. For the next few years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
