The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 `blissful`.

Moving on, there are a couple of interesting books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of that period.

Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in publications on food, many of which are now in private cookery archives.

During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day.

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

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site.
