The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, we have some recipe books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of that period. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications were in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. |
