The History of Recipes

Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, fennel and dill.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are now in academic collections.

By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books were highly popular due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money.
