The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
