The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
