The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, there were two interesting books dating from the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of that time. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
