The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes way back into history, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many spices, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and dill. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
