The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. 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 internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
