The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful.

Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of that time.

Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a surge in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in private cookery archives.

During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site.
