The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting books from the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich people of that time. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications are in great demand, due to better eduction, more free time and having more money. |
