The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, there were two books published in the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of those days. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
