The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient cooks made use of many different spices, including a few you will know like basil, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
