The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the rich families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
