The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `blissful`.

As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like basil, rue and asafoetida.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that time.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a surge in recipe publications, many of which still exist in academic collections.

When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth.
