The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
