The History of Recipes

It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections.

Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site.
