The History of Recipes

We can follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful.

Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, rue and asafoetida.

Later, we have a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private collections.

For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day.

By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth.
