The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making 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`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the wealthy. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
