The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and dill. For the next few years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
