The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting books dating from the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich people of the period. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
