The History of Recipes

Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are some interesting books from the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of those days.

Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer.

The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
