The History of Recipes

We can read the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated.

Later on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of those days.

For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading.
