The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, these, old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. |
