The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and asafoetida. For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
