The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful.

Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, rue and asafoetida.

Later on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of the time.

Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private collections.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and disposable income.

The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
