The present invention permits to manufacture, with low cost and good through-put, a liquid discharge recording head in which a nozzle plate is formed from inorganic material. In the liquid discharge recording head according to the present invention, a nozzle plate formed from inorganic material is stacked on a front surface of a silicon substrate including heat generating resistant members for generating energy for discharging liquid and an electric circuit for driving the heat generating resistant members. The liquid can be supplied from a liquid supply port extending through the silicon substrate to flow paths provided between the silicon substrate and the nozzle plate. Recessed portions having predetermined depths are formed in a region of the surface of the silicon substrate, where the flow paths are formed, and discharge ports are formed above the recessed portions.
