The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, early records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the next few years, the upper classes competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
