The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Romans used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
