The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, these, old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move on, we find two interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of those days. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
