The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making 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 exhilarated and blissful.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and dill.

During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were in great demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more money.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now.
