The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the early Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
