The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and dill. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
