The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed way back into history, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans used a wide range of spices, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
