The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
