The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
