The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are highly popular due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
