The History of Recipes

Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into ancient history, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

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 recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and asafoetida.

Moving on, there are some books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and disposable income.
