The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
