The History of Recipes

Written recipes as a concept can be observed far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful.

Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, rue and dill.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices caused a torrent in recipe books, most of which still exist in private collections.

The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now.
