The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Romans used many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. |
