The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
