The History of Recipes

Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated.

Closer to modern times, there are some books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich people of that time.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in academic collections.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
