The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
