The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into antiquity, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
