The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
