The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and dill. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. 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 assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
