The History of Recipes

Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the upper classes of that period.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives.

Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time.

The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site.
