The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs used many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like basil, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
