The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful.

Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the nobility of the time.

In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused a torrent in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private collections.

During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
