The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, we find a couple of cookery books from the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
