The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful.

As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and asafoetida.

Moving on, we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of those days.

Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth.

The revolution that is television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site.
