The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of books published in the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of the period. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
