The History of Recipes

Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the upper classes of that period.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

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