The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
