The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and parsley.

Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in private cookery archives.

The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site.
