combine several tablespoons of salsa with refried beans and serve
with tortilla chips.

The History of Recipes

It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful.

Later on, there were a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of the time.

For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers.

The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

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