The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and dill. For the centuries that followed, the upper classes strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us 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, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
