The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and asafoetida.

During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now.
