The History of Recipes

Historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `wonderful`.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private libraries.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

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