The History of Recipes

Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early records were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated.

As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the upper classes of the period.

In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private libraries.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books.

And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this.
