The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 blissful and exhilarated.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals served to the upper classes of the time.

Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers.

The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this site.
