The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans used many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
