The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of recipe books published in the 14th Century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of those days. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
