The History of Recipes

It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.

In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and dill.

For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day.

By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money.
