The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
