The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
