The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman cooks used a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie 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 brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
