The History of Recipes

Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drinkers feel exhilarated.

Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two recipe books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich people of the time.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries.

When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend.

The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site.
