The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
