World of Recipes

Make yourself a great meal!

  The word "Recipe" comes from the Latin word recipe, meaning, an instruction to have the ingredients ready, originally used in doctors' orders to pharmacists. The written history of recipes can be traced back to approximately 1400 BC, when ancient Egyptians painted hieroglyphics depicting the preparation of food. However it wasn’t until the Roman times that recipes were written down in a language form rather than pictures.

Did you Know... By the mid 1900s, there were literally thousands of cookery and recipe books available. The next revolution came with introduction of the TV cooks. The first TV cook in England was Fanny Craddock who had her show on the BBC, later followed by chefs such as Graham Kerr (known as the Galloping Gourmet). These TV cookery programs brought the recipes of these cooks to a new audience who were keen to try out new ways of cooking. In the early days, the recipes were available by post from the BBC and later with the introduction of the CEEFAX text on screen system, they became available on the television. The new companies of Channel 4 and S4C also brought recipes to the television with their own text system called ORACLE. Today the television is still a major source of recipe information, with international cooks and chefs such as Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey, Nigella Lawson and Rachel Ray having prime time shows and backing them up with Internet websites giving the details of all their recipes. Despite the Internet, today cookery books are as popular if not more so than they have ever been.
