The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
