The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful.

Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and dill.

Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in recipe publications, many of which still exist in academic collections.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income.

The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site.
