The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, we find two interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of those days. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
