The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans used many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and parsley. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
