The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans used many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
