The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the ancient chefs used many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
