The History of Recipes

Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 tried it feel `wonderful`.

Closer to modern times, we have a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that period.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a torrent in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site.
