The History of Recipes It is quite possible to track the history of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the early Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site.
