The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and parsley. For the decades that followed, the families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
