The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move on, there are two interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the upper classes of that time. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
