The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

Moving on, we find some recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the period.

During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income.
