The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs used many spices, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
