The History of Recipes

Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and dill.

Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site.
