The History of Recipes

Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`.

During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and asafoetida.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site.
