The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and dill. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
