The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, we have some recipe books which date from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich people of those days. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
