The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
