The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
