The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, mint and dill. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
