The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel blissful.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and parsley.

As we move on, we have some interesting books published in the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of that time.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private collections.

By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income.
