The History of Recipes

We can trace the history of `recipes` back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and dill.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an outbreak in cookery books, most of which are now in private collections.

Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading.
