The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of stone 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful.

As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks used many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and dill.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of those days.

In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private collections.

Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group.

By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more disposable income.

The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site.
