The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into distant history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks used a wide range of spices, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
