The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have some books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
