The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into ancient history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the chefs of Roman times used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
