The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, we have some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money. |
