The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
