The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
