The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
