The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, we have two recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the wealthy. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. |
