The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
