The History of Recipes

We can read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and asafoetida.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day.

When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and disposable income.
