The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
