The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
