The History of Recipes

We can track the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.

Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, rue and parsley.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private libraries.

The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
