The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
