The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making 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 wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there were a couple of books which appeared in the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the time. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. |
