The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
