The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes far back into history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
