The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
