The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
