The History of Recipes

Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income.
