The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
