The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 having made people feel exhilarated. Later on, there are two interesting cookery books published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the rich people of the time. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
