The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
