The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. |
