The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. |
