The History of Recipes

It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful.

Moving on, there were two books which were published in the 1300s - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the time.

During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day.

The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading.
