The History of Recipes

We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks used many different spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and asafoetida.

Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer.
