The History of Recipes

It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley.

For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money.

The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site.
