The History of Recipes

Academics have traced the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of his times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and asafoetida.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are some books dating from the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the time.

In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe publications, some of which are now in private collections.

By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth.

The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now.
