The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 wonderful and blissful.

As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and asafoetida.

In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in books on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections.

Over the next few centuries, the powerful and rich strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day.

The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

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 like those on our web site.
