The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
