The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, mint and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. |
