The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of cookery books from the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time.

By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are highly popular due to increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site.
