The History of Recipes

Historians have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private libraries.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
