The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into antiquity, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the early Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know like bay, mint and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
