The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the upper classes tried to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. 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 this web site. |
