The History of Recipes

Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation 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.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and dill.

Over the following few centuries, the upper classes competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income.

The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now.
