The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
