The History of Recipes

Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful.

During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and asafoetida.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses strove to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

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

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site.
