The History of Recipes

Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two books dating from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of the time.

Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private collections.

Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this.
