The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into the far past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans made use of many different spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
