The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, rue and parsley.

Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this.
