The History of Recipes

Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and asafoetida.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private libraries.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading.
