The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
