The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and asafoetida.

Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an increase in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in academic collections.

The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site.
