The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and dill. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Family Favorite Oatmeal (Lf) recipe.
