The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and dill. For the next few years, the powerful and rich houses tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
