The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
