The History of Recipes

We can track the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount 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, wonderful and blissful`.

Later on, there were two interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the period.

For the next few years, the upper classes competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this site.
