The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move on, we have some interesting books from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the rich people of the time. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are greatly in demand due to better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
