The History of Recipes

Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `blissful`.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Roman chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and asafoetida.

During the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
