The History of Recipes

Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and dill.

Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers.

By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications are in great demand, due to better eduction, more free time and a general increase in wealth.
