The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
