The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
