The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and dill. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
