The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example basil, rue and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
