The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
