The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks used many different herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, rue and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
