The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
