The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of that period. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
