The History of Recipes

We can read the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `blissful`.

Later on, we have a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of the period.

For the next few years, the rich families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day.

The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site.
