The History of Recipes

It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few clay tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and parsley.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the nobility of those days.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections.

When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and disposable income.
