The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient cooks used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
