The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
