The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
