The History of Recipes

Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in ancient 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 having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated.

As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise such as basil, fennel and parsley.

Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, some of which are now in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more disposable income.

The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading.
