The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`.

As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and dill.

During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time.

By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this.
