The History of Recipes

We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful.

As we move on, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that period.

During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and a general increase in wealth.

The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
