The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the ancient cooks used many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an increase in cookery books, some of which are now in academic collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this.
