The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
