The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced way back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The TV revolution brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
