The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and dill. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
