The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of books from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
