The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. |
