The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
