The History of Recipes

We are able to read the history of meal recipes back into history, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.

As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient cooks used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and dill.

During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group.

The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now.
