The History of Recipes

Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some stone 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley.

For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. 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, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day.

The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this.
