The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries.

The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site.
