The History of Recipes

Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful.

During Roman times 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 meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and dill.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of those days.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted an increase in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

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

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site.
