The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
