The History of Recipes

It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and parsley.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
