The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
