The History of Recipes

It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of ancient 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 having made people feel wonderful and blissful.

Moving on, we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of that period.

During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site.
