The History of Recipes

Recipes as a concept can be found way back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful.

Moving on, there are some books dating from the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich.

During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and being a little richer.

The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site.
