The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
