The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich people of that period. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
