The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs used many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
