The History of Recipes

It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful.

Moving on, we find two interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of the period.

During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer.
