The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into the distant past, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. |
