The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few 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 making those who drank it feel `wonderful`.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and parsley.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy land, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more disposable income.

The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site.
