The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs used many different herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
