The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. Later on, there were some recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and disposable income. |
