The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes back into history, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century 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, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
