The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old records were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in 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 making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
