The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and asafoetida.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private collections.

The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site.
