The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
