The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two books from the 1300s : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of those days. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
