The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
