The History of Recipes

It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and asafoetida.

Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections.

The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

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