The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
