The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, rue and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. |
