The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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, there were some books published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer. |
