The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in the Sumerian language 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move on, we find some recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of the time. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
