The History of Recipes

Written recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`.

During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and asafoetida.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an increase in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular due to increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
