The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` back into the far past, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
