The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
