The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, old records were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the wealthy. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
