The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into the distant past, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are highly popular as a result of better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
