The History of Recipes

Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of the period.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site.
