The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the families of Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were highly popular due to increased literacy, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
