The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and dill. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
