The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 wonderful.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, rue and parsley.

As we move on, we find a couple of cookery books published in the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that time.

Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in academic collections.

The arrival of television gave us TV cooks 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 massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
