The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
