The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
