The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be observed far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful.

As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and parsley.

Over the next few hundred years, the upper classes tried to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group.

When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were starting to become popular due to better eduction, more spare time and disposable income.

The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site.
