The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes back into history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
