The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Much later, in Roman times a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
