The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper classes competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
