The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into the far past, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and parsley. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
