The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, rue and parsley. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
