The History of Recipes

We can follow the history of written recipes back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman cooks used a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and asafoetida.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including parsley and basil. These new foods and spices created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private collections.

Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day.

By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend.

The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading.
