The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
