The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, we have two interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of the time. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
