The History of Recipes

Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated.

Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of that time.

In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site.
