The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of that time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
