The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later, we have a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
