The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone 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 people feel blissful.

As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives.

For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time.

The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this.
