The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient 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 making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, we find some recipe books published in the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the nobility of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
