The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, we find a couple of recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are highly popular due to better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
