The History of Recipes

We are able to track the history of written recipes back into history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated.

As we move on, there are a couple of recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of that period.

Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries.

During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes of the day.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now.
