The History of Recipes

We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans used a good variety of spices, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida.

During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
