The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced back into the distant past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more money. |
