The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, old cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans used many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, rue and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
