The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, rue and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
