The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans used many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal 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 their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
