The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
