The History of Recipes

It is possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and asafoetida.

Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives.

By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money.

The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this.
