The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, rue and dill.

During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
