The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into the far past, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
