The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
