The History of Recipes

We are able to track the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, mint and asafoetida.

Moving on, there are some books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of that period.

Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private collections.

During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more disposable income.
