The History of Recipes

We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made drinkers feel `wonderful`.

As we move on, we have two interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich.

During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time.

The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now.
