The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans used many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
