The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into distant history, at least as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
