The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
