The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making drinkers feel blissful. Later, there are two books published in the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
