The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
