The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two recipe books from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of the time. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular due to more people being able to read, more spare time and disposable income. |
