The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. For the next few years, the families of Europe strove to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
