The History of Recipes

Recipes as a concept can be found back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the ancient chefs used many different herbs, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an outbreak in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and being a little richer.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading.
