The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
