The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, we have two interesting books dating from the 1300s - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of the period. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
