The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and asafoetida. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
