The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old records were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
