The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
