The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
