The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks used many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and parsley. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
