The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, old cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV 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, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
