The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and dill. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
