The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, at least as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
