The History of Recipes

Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and asafoetida.

In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs created an eruption in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site.
