The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman chefs used many herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and dill. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
