The History of Recipes

We can track the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and asafoetida.

Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an explosion in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in academic collections.

For the next few years, the upper classes competed to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income.

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 everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site.
