The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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, wonderful and blissful`. Later, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of that time. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
