The History of Recipes

It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like bay, mint and parsley.

Later, there are a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of those days.

Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for a surge in recipe books, many of which are now in private libraries.

By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more disposable income.
