The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
