The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the cooks of his times used many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money. |
