The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
