The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
