The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of the period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
