The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
