The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`.

As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and dill.

During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site.
