The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and parsley.

During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day.

By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth.
