The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like bay, mint and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
