The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
