The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Bulger Oriental recipe.
