The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
