The History of Recipes

Experts have tracked the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and parsley.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money.
