The History of Recipes

Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and parsley.

During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time.

By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer.

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

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
