The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
