The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. |
