The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
