The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` back into history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs used many herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and parsley. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
