The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the early Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, rue and dill. During the next few centuries, the upper classes competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, 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 well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
