The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into history, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel `blissful`. Later, there are two books which date from the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the nobility of those days. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money. |
