The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and having more disposable income. |
