The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found far back into distant history, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
