The History of Recipes

Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, generally, these early records were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, rue and dill.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income.
