The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
