The History of Recipes

Recipes as an idea can be traced way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some 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 having made people feel `blissful`.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were some recipe books which date from the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of the period.

Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site.
