The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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 wonderful and blissful. Later on, there were some recipe books which were published in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of those days. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
