The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and dill.

Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices created a surge in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in private libraries.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now.
