The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
