The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the upper classes competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
