The History of Recipes

It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and parsley.

Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections.

During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income.
