The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, rue and dill. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
