The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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.

Moving on, we have two interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of the period.

Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money.

Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site.
