The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off 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 this recipe site. |
