The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, early records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and dill. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs 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 the site you are now reading. |
