The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that time. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and disposable income. |
