The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs made use of many different herbs, including some familiar names like basil, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
