The History of Recipes

Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful.

As we move on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich.

During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day.

By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth.

The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site.
