The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a collection of clay 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 tried it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich people of the period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications were in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
