The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the wealthy. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
