The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient Romans used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
