The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, rue and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
