The History of Recipes

We can follow the history of meal recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans used many spices and herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and asafoetida.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused a torrent in cookery books, some of which are now in private libraries.

Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

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

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site.
