The History of Recipes

Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the early Romans made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and asafoetida.

Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer.
