The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting books which date from the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
