The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into distant history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books are increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
