The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
