The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
