The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
