The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
