The History of Recipes

Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel exhilarated.

Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and parsley.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two books published in the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of those days.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an explosion in books on cooking, many of which are now in private cookery archives.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

When we get to the 20th century, cookery books are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income.
