The History of Recipes

Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into antiquity, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel `wonderful`.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the chefs of Roman times used many spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and dill.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money.

Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site.
