The History of Recipes

It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and parsley.

For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day.

The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site.
