The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into ancient history, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
