The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the ancient cooks used many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
