The History of Recipes

It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`.

As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs used many different spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and dill.

Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted an outbreak in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site.
