The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. He also informs us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like basil, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
