The History of Recipes

We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill.

For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group.

The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site.
