The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 people feel `wonderful`. As we move on, there were two interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the upper classes of the period. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and disposable income. |
