The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be traced back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

During the time of the Romans a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida.

Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth.

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

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading.
