The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans used many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
