The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into antiquity, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some clay 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 having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the time. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
