The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that time.

In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs led to an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in academic collections.

Over the following few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now.
