The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 and exhilarated.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money.

The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site.
