The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, generally, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and parsley. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
