The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more disposable income. |
