The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into the far past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
