The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
