The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into distant history, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, there were two interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of the West tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
