The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 having made drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the nobility of those days. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
