The History of Recipes

Written recipes as a concept can be tracked back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and dill.

Moving on, we have a couple of books from the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of that period.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in recipe publications, most of which are kept safe in private collections.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications were starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth.
