The History of Recipes

We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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`.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of that time.

Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site.
