The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few centuries, the families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
