The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 drinkers feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some recipe books published in the 1300s : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the time. Over the next few centuries, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money. |
