The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 exhilarated. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books from the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the period. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
