The History of Recipes

We can read the history of written recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in Sumerian 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 people feel exhilarated.

Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and asafoetida.

Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in cookery books, the majority of which are now in private libraries.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer.

The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
