The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like basil, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
