The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
