The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
