The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
