The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
