The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like basil, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
