The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into ancient history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
