The History of Recipes

Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the upper classes of the period.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time.

By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site.
