The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper classes tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
