The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation 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 `blissful`. Later, we have two interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the nobility of the period. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
