The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found far back into history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
