The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the ancient cooks used many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. |
