The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes way back into history, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts 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 having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later, there are some books from the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
