The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
