The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like basil, mint and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
