The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the time. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
