The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of 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 people feel wonderful and blissful.

Moving on, we have two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of those days.

During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend.
