The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. He also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
