The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
