The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
