The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
