The History of Recipes

Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking 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 blissful and exhilarated.

Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of those days.

Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day.

The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now.
