The History of Recipes We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation. The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of ancient 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 `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. 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 assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for 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 those on this site.
