The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like bay, mint and dill. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. |
