The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. As we move on, there are some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of those days. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
