The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that time. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and being a little richer. |
