The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 exhilarated and blissful. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books published in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that period. During the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular as a result of better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. |
