The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
