The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 `blissful`. Moving on, we have some interesting books from the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the nobility of the period. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
