The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. He also informs us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
