The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
