The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into antiquity, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
