The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
