The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
