The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and dill. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
