The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the Romans made use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich competed to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
