The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and parsley.

Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are in high demand, due to better eduction, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth.
