The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be traced way back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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`.

During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of many herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, mint and parsley.

For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day.

The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs 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 thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now.
