The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes way back into history, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in 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.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and dill.

Later on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections.

The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site.
