The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and parsley. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
