The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
