The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
