The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 `wonderful`. Closer to modern times, we find two recipe books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the time. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer. |
