The History of Recipes

It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into the far past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and dill.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of those days.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site.
