The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this 60 Second Chocolate Mousse recipe.
