The History of Recipes

We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful.

As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the wealthy.

During the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day.

By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income.
