The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks used many different spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
