The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
