The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, 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 the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
