The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
