The History of Recipes Historians have proved the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation. Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two books which were published in the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes created a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private collections. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site.
