The History of Recipes

Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 and blissful.

During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and dill.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of that period.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused a surge in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private collections.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and disposable income.
