The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
