The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
