The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the upper classes competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century 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, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
