The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
