The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 `wonderful`.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs used a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private libraries.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income.

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

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site.
