The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, mint and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
