The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
