The History of Recipes Recipes as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation. In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site.
