The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
