The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking 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, wonderful and blissful`.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of those days.

Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a surge in books on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day.

By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site.
