The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
