The History of Recipes

It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an eruption in publications on food, most of which still exist in private collections.

By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site.
