The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. |
