The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and dill. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
