The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
