The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, rue and dill. For the next few years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
