The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like basil, rue and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Aunt Effie's Special recipe.
