The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
