The History of Recipes

Historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful.

Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and parsley.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in recipe books, most of which still exist in private cookery archives.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this.
