The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
