The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and asafoetida.

For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site.
