The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be found far back into history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 `blissful`.

During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and dill.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private libraries.

The arrival of TV gave us celebrity 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, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now.
