The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
