The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few 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 people feel `blissful`.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of that period.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day.

When we get to the twentieth century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth.

The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site.
