The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving on, we find a couple of books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of the period. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
