The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into ancient history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
