The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs made use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
