The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Romans used many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money. |
