The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of written recipes far back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and dill.

During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site.
