The History of Recipes

Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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 `wonderful`.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the nobility of those days.

In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an explosion in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and disposable income.

The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site.
