The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
