The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some interesting books from the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the nobility of that time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
