The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
