The History of Recipes

We can trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.

In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful.

Later on, there were some interesting books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of the time.

For the next few years, the upper classes strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income.
