The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and being a little richer. |
